Document Procurement & Legalisation

Hudson McKenzie provides document procurement and legalisation services for individuals, employers and international businesses managing immigration and global mobility requirements.

We assist with obtaining, authenticating, attesting, legalising and translating documents required by immigration authorities, embassies, consulates and government departments worldwide.

Immigration and international relocation applications frequently depend on documents being obtained and processed correctly before an application can proceed.

Depending on the destination country and immigration route, documents may need to be certified, authenticated, notarised, apostilled, attested, legalised or translated before they will be accepted by the relevant authority.

Hudson McKenzie coordinates the document process for individuals, employees, senior executives, business owners, dependants, HR teams and Global Mobility professionals.

Our team first considers the relevant immigration route, destination country and document requirements before advising on the appropriate procurement, authentication or legalisation process.

We can assist with documents originating in one jurisdiction and required for use in another, helping clients manage what can otherwise involve multiple issuing authorities, notaries, embassies, consulates, translators and courier providers.

How Hudson McKenzie Can Help

Hudson McKenzie provides a coordinated approach to document procurement and legalisation for immigration and international mobility matters.

For individuals and families, we can assist with qualification documents, civil status certificates, police clearance documents, translations and other documentation required for visa, residency and dependant applications.

For employers and international businesses, we can manage document requirements for employees, senior executives and their dependants, including educational certificates, professional qualifications and corporate documents.

Using a single point of contact can reduce the need to coordinate separately with issuing authorities, notaries, government departments, embassies, consulates, translators and courier providers.

Where document procurement or legalisation forms part of a wider international relocation, our team can also advise on the associated immigration requirements and coordinate the documentation alongside the relevant application.

For advice on document procurement, apostille, attestation, authentication or legalisation requirements, speak to Hudson McKenzie about the documents and jurisdictions involved.
